First Trailer for Bing Liu's Outstanding Documentary 'Minding the Gap'

“I could seriously be on the verge of having a mental breakdown, but as long as I’m able to go skate, I’m completely fine.” Hulu + Magnolia have released the first official trailer for a documentary titled Minding the Gap from director Bing Liu, one of the very best doc films this year. This premiered at the Sundance Film Festival year, where it won a Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Filmmaking; then it went on to play at tons of other film festivals, as shown in one of the title cards in this trailer. “The secret to growing up is that no one really knows what they’re doing. It’s in the gap between childhood and adulthood that we find meaning for ourselves.” Minding the Gap is about three kids from Illinois, growing up fast and figuring out adult life, all the while cherishing the great freedom of skateboarding. I interviewed Bing Liu at Sundance after seeing the film, and wrote a rave review as well, praising it as “one of the most refreshingly original, engaging docs about growing up in today’s America.” I cannot recommend this doc enough.
